Another day, another update. More troubleshooting was done today. What did we
do: - Yesterday evening @phiresky@
[email protected]
[https://lemmy.world/u/phiresky] did some SQL troubleshooting with some of the
lemmy.world admins. After that, phiresky submitted some PRs to github. -
@
[email protected] [https://lemmy.ml/u/cetra3] created a docker image containing
3PR’s: Disable retry queue [https://github.com/LemmyNet/lemmy/pull/3468], Get
follower Inbox Fix [https://github.com/LemmyNet/lemmy/pull/3482], Admin Index
Fix [https://github.com/LemmyNet/lemmy/pull/3483] - We started using this image,
and saw a big drop in CPU usage and disk load. - We saw thousands of errors per
minute in the nginx log for old clients trying to access the websockets (which
were removed in 0.18), so we added a return 404 in nginx conf for /api/v3/ws. -
We updated lemmy-ui from RC7 to RC10 which fixed a lot, among which the issue
with replying to DMs - We found that the many 502-errors were caused by an issue
in Lemmy/markdown-it.actix or whatever, causing nginx to temporarily mark an
upstream to be dead. As a workaround we can either 1.) Only use 1 container or
2.) set proxy_next_upstream timeout; in nginx. Currently we’re running with 1
lemmy container, so the 502-errors are completely gone so far, and because of
the fixes in the Lemmy code everything seems to be running smooth. If needed we
could spin up a second lemmy container using the proxy_next_upstream timeout;
workaround but for now it seems to hold with 1. Thanks to @
